LECTURE SERIES BRINGS NOTED SPEAKERS
TO COLLEGE
Dr. Rir.hm·cl Patte('
History Professor Returns To Nazareth
The new te1·m is in lull swing
and wH:.hio a shot t. sp$n of time,
memorable events have already
occurJ"·ed. Among these was the
lecture on Tuesday evening, F eb­•
·uary 8, by the distinguished D1·.
Am·on I. A bell. We were proud
to welcome l1im back to Naz ..
aret..h, which is not an unfami1iar
SJ)Ot to him, :Cot· he set'ved as
head of the Nazareth College His­tory
Oepa1·tment from 1937 to
1945. We were privileged to have
him heJ'e during those years, pdor
to which he taught at Saint Nor­bert
College in Wisconsin and at
New York University.
Jn 1945, 01·. Abell bid farewell
to Nazareth and set out fo•· the
Unive•·sity of Notre Dame. To­day
he is a Professor of Hi!to1·y
in the Graduate Oepa1·tment oi
Notu~ Dame and holds the hon­ored
title of Pres ident of the
Amel'ican Catholic Histol'ical So­eiety.
Furthe,·more, he is a mem­ber
of Phi Beta Kappa, the Amer­ican
Hi$to•·ical Association, and
the Catholic Conference on Indus­t•
·ial I'roblcms.
Those who attended Tuesday's
Jeeture are in agreement that it
was an evening well spent, and
that Dr. Abell's talk on "1'he His­tory
and Nature of the Commu­nist
Conspi•·aey in the United
States" was not only informative
but invigorating and thought-prO·
voking. He commented in the po­litical
and labor phases of Atner·­ican
Communism, on the li terary
aspects of the movement., and on
the impact of Communism on re­ligion
in America. Regarding a
lecture on this subject, few men
could be found who are as well
qu alified to discuss it as Or.
Abell, foa· he has done e xtJensive
research on the diversified areas
of the social histo•·y of the United
States.
If we tum the hands of the
clock back a few years, we dis­cove•
· that Dr . Abell received hL•
M.A. and his Ph. D. at Harvard
University wh~re he studied un­qer
· Proftssor Schltsi>~gr•·. one of
America's leading historians, and
that he published his thesis under
the title ' 'The Urban Impact on
American Pa·otestantism, 1865·
1900." Today he is doing resoarch
along a s imllaJ' line with a SJ>e~
citic t•efcrenee to the U1'ban im·
pact on Catholicism.
Besides having accon>l>lished all
of the above undertakings, D1·
Abell is also the joint author of
a Ristory of t he United Stat.es,
published in 1948, the author of
••·ticles on Church History and
Labo1· History, and the contribu­tor
to several historical aOd po.
litical jouJ·nals. among thern the
Review oj PoliticR. Viithout a
doubt, here is a man safely held
in high esteem, a man whose
ga·eatness Naza1·cth appreciates.
May he pass through these halls
many times in the futua·e as he
has done so many times in the
past.
Nazareth College is fortunate
to have scheduled in its lecture
series of the season , DJ\ Richm·d
Pattee, noted aut hor and lecturer.
Dr. Pat tee has •ecently •·eturncd
fa·om two months in Centl'al
Amel'ica and the Caribbean
whet·e he worked specifically on
the situation regarding Commu.
nist activity in t-hose countl'ies.
In his many years of di st in~
guished wo1·k in the field of wol'ld
pt•oblems, Or. Pattee has •·eached
top Aight recognition for· his ef­fort'!
to promote bett.er under­standing
with Latin America. He
has written several books on the
subject and has received national
awa1·ds because of his achieve.
ments in this field. In 1948 he
was honored with the Cht·istian
Cultu•·e award for his outstand­ing
efforts and he late•· received
t he St. Bonave nture's Catholic
Action Medal.
Dr. Pattee did graduate work
at Catholic Unive•.,.ity of America
and at the Unive1·sities of Lou­vain
in Belgium and Coimbra in
Portugal. In 1938 he joined the
Cultura l Relatio"s Division of the
State Department and served as
Chief of the Division from 1941
to 1943. Tn addition to his t ravels,
writings and lectut·es, he was con­s
ultant to the 'U. S. delegation
'"'hen it drew up the United Na.
tions Charter in San Francisco.
The fo•·ums and colleges of the
country have Jong cons idered him
an out.~ t.anding speakea· whose un.
usual wealth of info1'n1ation is
presented in n vital and extreme ...
Jy intet·esting manner. He is de~
finitely t·ecognized as one of the
leading s peakers on the s ubject
of Communism on the Catholic
platfom t today.

Mr. BI'Own related the bt·othcr­hood
of man to the founding of
out· demoe•·acy. He pointed out the
distinction between the uphil­osophical

s titution and the practice of de­moct

prived in equality. He called up­on
students like ourselves to fuse
the gap between theory and prac­tice,
''thereby giving our democ­racy
more meanin;:( and giving
individuals more rights."
He challenged us as future pr·o­fessional
and business people to
have a feeling of respect for dif­ferent
cultural and ethn ic groups
and to transmit this respect to
action which would bring about a
true experiencing of the brother.

Liberal Education
Discussed
At Conference
1'he College was represented by
Sistel' Joseph Mm·y and Siste1·

of the Association of American
Colleges held in Washington, D.
C., on January 11-13.
The general subject of the con­fe•
·ence was "Liberal Education
and America's Future." Among
t.he pl'incir)al s peakers were Dr.
Harlan Hatcher, President of the
University of Michigan, Rcve1·end
Theodot·e J l. Hesburgh, C.S.C ..
President of the Univcr"Sity of
Notre Dame, and P1·ofessor Cil­bert
Highet, Professor of Liter­atm
·e at Columbia University. Dr.
Hatcher's address on "The Faith
that Moves Mountains" and Fath­eo
· Hesburgh's on ''Liberal Edu­cation
in Contemporary Americau
were t he high lights of the n>eet­ing.
Fathet· i'lesburgh stated,
"We s hould s pend less t ime as­suming

"Sea Magic" To Mark
Formal Theme
There'll be magic in the ail' on
Februa•·.y 18 as students and their
dates dance to the rhythm of Bill
Fleig's orchestra at the Sodality's
semi ... formal dance.
The dance is an annual affair,
but the date has been advanced
this year to enable more students
to attend. It was formerly held
in the spring, but because the
Senio•· Ball was soon after, the
attendance was not as g.r:c.at as
could be hoped. Since this is the
last big event before Lent, the
Sodality expects a la•·ge turn-out.
M"ry Jo Schaefe>', general
chairman, ha.s announced that it
will be held from nine to twelve
in the school auditorium. Tickets
are on sale now by H elc:n Batter
for $2.80. J11dy Keave11oy is in
charge of publicity, and Cm·o/

'Ci111e to Meditate
Somehow, the New Year just slipped in before I was
ready for it; I hardly had a chance t.o make any ser ious
resolutions. Or, perhaps I did make them and haven't
got around t.o getting them into effect. (Memo: get ac­cu
~tomed to being ready for these inevitable events; stop
fabricating excuses mentally to escape these duties to
my personality.) The days have just slipped away, and
~udden ly-here I am at the beginning of a new term
and about to set aside three days from this rushing, note­jammed,
assignmented schedule. three days to make a
thorough examination of every corner of myself, into the
par ts of my personality that make me wonder sometimes.
and to form a number of resolutions.
In the busyness of daily work, am I fo•·getting the real
aim, the reason why I come to class each day'/ Am I in­stead
concentrating on the means and making them all­important?
Do I allow myself to become so wound up
thal petty incidents claim my mind as central events? Do
1 s hift responsibility or procrastinate?
And resolutions galore! How many times have I vowed
to get in that extra-class book, to get to daily Mass, to
relax while working (to make me a sanely balanced per­son).
Is it possible, conversely, that I am over-con­scientious
about work and take every accusation or sug­gestion
as a reason for personal upset?
Having put ourselves in the best atmosphere of mjnd
fo•· a retreat and made this all-around examination, we
will a ll find that this pause to reconsider, to recount. and
to reaffirm our aims will be a despen\tely-needed one.
We will fi nd it so much easier to plunge ngnin into the
routine, after this "pause that refreshes.'' And as our
RetJ·eat gives us the opportunity to do such houseclean­ing,
the reopening of classes gives us the opportunity to
put our determination to the test.
A MomeHt's Pause
Amid the business and bustle of a new term, Nazareth
paused •·ecently to offer a specia l MaR.~ for n servant of
God and youth. Father Daniel A. Lo•·d, S .. J., has received
a new nssignment, and, we are sure. a reward. The offer­ing
of Nazareth's prayers for Father Lord's soul is but a
small mark of the love and appreciation the young people
of America owe to this man, this priest of God. 1n his
service of God, he labored long, strenuously, and tireless­ly
in behalf of God's chlldren; of these, Soda lists espe­cially
felt the genial warmth of Father Lord's smile.

Barbara. ,,.•ho is now a senior
here nt Naza1·eth, is taking a
Major in French and n minor in
English. She has t·ecentty com ..
pleted her practice reaching, as
have many other seniors. Her
three weeks were s pent at John
Marshall High School, where s he
observed Eng lish classes and
taught French to students of the
h eshman. junior. and senior
classes. And although she ex­pct
·ienc::ed three wcch:a of t c nac­nes~
and emotion, Barbara feels
that she has greatly benefitted
from het· observations of both the
teachers and her pupils.
In the t ime she spent teaching
she had no discipline problems
with the students but f elt that
the pupils in her class tl'ied hard
to help her when she needed as .
sistancc the most. For example,
the day that Barbara was to be
observed by Mrs. JO'<C8, two boys
approached Barbara and told her
honestly that they had written
their lesson for the day but had
lost it. They reasoned that by
telling hea· oub·ight, she would re­frain
fron\ caJling on them. In
this way t hel·e would be no bad
reflection on her lf they should err
in answering. Mistaken as they
were, the bo~1S were caJled upon
and_, 4 ' thanks be to the angels/'
they answered her questions. On
the following day a group of stu·
dents rushed to Barbara's desk
and asked, with great enthusiasm,
•'Did you pass, did yoo pass?"
When asked what she thought
of ptaetiee teaching Barbara an.
owcred, 1•Prnctice tea ching is an
interesting experience and is good
Cot· any gid even if she isn't sw·e
she wants to teach."
Now that Bnrbat·a has com·
pleted one of the most difficult
parts of becoming a teacher, she
has definitely decided to make
teachin~~: her profession. WeU,
Barb, we hope your plans turn
out for the best aod we know
you'll make a wonderful Christian
teacher. Good luck to you in the
f uture.

CATHOLIC ACTION WORKSHOP
TO BE HELD HERE
Nazareth will he host to 5tu­dent
representatives from col­leges
and univeroitiu in the Lake
Erie Region a t the Catholic Ar­tion
Worksho1>- F'eb•·uary 20.
The workshop will he eonducted
by Jton Aloimo. chairman or the
Catholic Action Commission in
the l.ake Erie Region. Dm·othy
S,.ciUtr nnd a Univcrsily of Ni·
agaa·n student will p1·esent pa ..
pers.
The proposed topic of the work­shOJ>
is the study of the relation­ship
of Y. C. S. to C. A., of
Sodnlity to C. A .. the dist inctions
among the three, and the possi­bility
o! eooperation or merger.
Jean Alaimo explained that in
ordea· to have a successfu l woa·k.
shop it is important fo•· a ll in­tere•
ted student. to attend. "All
studenUJ inte• ested in Catholic
Aetion. which on our eampus
eomea under the heading of So­dality,
will find lhl• excha nge of
idea" invaluahl~." Jean said.
"The primar)' purpose of a
workt~hop;' Jean continued. ..is
the •olution of llroblems. Our
problem has vexed Catholic Ac­tion
wo1·kers and bas eaus.ed hos~
tility in their ranks rather than
unity and coopetation. Cl'eater
cooperation has been n plea of
Pope Pius XII. We hope to be
able to take step• toward greater
eoope•·at.ion through our work·
shop.
''A woa'kJJhop is n h aining
ground lO>' leadership, an oppor­tunity
for friendly debate with
other s tudents, and a chance to
discover· the problems of the

Vol. XXX THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1955
LECTURE SERIES BRINGS NOTED SPEAKERS
TO COLLEGE
Dr. Rir.hm·cl Patte('
History Professor Returns To Nazareth
The new te1·m is in lull swing
and wH:.hio a shot t. sp$n of time,
memorable events have already
occurJ"·ed. Among these was the
lecture on Tuesday evening, F eb­•
·uary 8, by the distinguished D1·.
Am·on I. A bell. We were proud
to welcome l1im back to Naz ..
aret..h, which is not an unfami1iar
SJ)Ot to him, :Cot· he set'ved as
head of the Nazareth College His­tory
Oepa1·tment from 1937 to
1945. We were privileged to have
him heJ'e during those years, pdor
to which he taught at Saint Nor­bert
College in Wisconsin and at
New York University.
Jn 1945, 01·. Abell bid farewell
to Nazareth and set out fo•· the
Unive•·sity of Notre Dame. To­day
he is a Professor of Hi!to1·y
in the Graduate Oepa1·tment oi
Notu~ Dame and holds the hon­ored
title of Pres ident of the
Amel'ican Catholic Histol'ical So­eiety.
Furthe,·more, he is a mem­ber
of Phi Beta Kappa, the Amer­ican
Hi$to•·ical Association, and
the Catholic Conference on Indus­t•
·ial I'roblcms.
Those who attended Tuesday's
Jeeture are in agreement that it
was an evening well spent, and
that Dr. Abell's talk on "1'he His­tory
and Nature of the Commu­nist
Conspi•·aey in the United
States" was not only informative
but invigorating and thought-prO·
voking. He commented in the po­litical
and labor phases of Atner·­ican
Communism, on the li terary
aspects of the movement., and on
the impact of Communism on re­ligion
in America. Regarding a
lecture on this subject, few men
could be found who are as well
qu alified to discuss it as Or.
Abell, foa· he has done e xtJensive
research on the diversified areas
of the social histo•·y of the United
States.
If we tum the hands of the
clock back a few years, we dis­cove•
· that Dr . Abell received hL•
M.A. and his Ph. D. at Harvard
University wh~re he studied un­qer
· Proftssor Schltsi>~gr•·. one of
America's leading historians, and
that he published his thesis under
the title ' 'The Urban Impact on
American Pa·otestantism, 1865·
1900." Today he is doing resoarch
along a s imllaJ' line with a SJ>e~
citic t•efcrenee to the U1'ban im·
pact on Catholicism.
Besides having accon>l>lished all
of the above undertakings, D1·
Abell is also the joint author of
a Ristory of t he United Stat.es,
published in 1948, the author of
••·ticles on Church History and
Labo1· History, and the contribu­tor
to several historical aOd po.
litical jouJ·nals. among thern the
Review oj PoliticR. Viithout a
doubt, here is a man safely held
in high esteem, a man whose
ga·eatness Naza1·cth appreciates.
May he pass through these halls
many times in the futua·e as he
has done so many times in the
past.
Nazareth College is fortunate
to have scheduled in its lecture
series of the season , DJ\ Richm·d
Pattee, noted aut hor and lecturer.
Dr. Pat tee has •ecently •·eturncd
fa·om two months in Centl'al
Amel'ica and the Caribbean
whet·e he worked specifically on
the situation regarding Commu.
nist activity in t-hose countl'ies.
In his many years of di st in~
guished wo1·k in the field of wol'ld
pt•oblems, Or. Pattee has •·eached
top Aight recognition for· his ef­fort'!
to promote bett.er under­standing
with Latin America. He
has written several books on the
subject and has received national
awa1·ds because of his achieve.
ments in this field. In 1948 he
was honored with the Cht·istian
Cultu•·e award for his outstand­ing
efforts and he late•· received
t he St. Bonave nture's Catholic
Action Medal.
Dr. Pattee did graduate work
at Catholic Unive•.,.ity of America
and at the Unive1·sities of Lou­vain
in Belgium and Coimbra in
Portugal. In 1938 he joined the
Cultura l Relatio"s Division of the
State Department and served as
Chief of the Division from 1941
to 1943. Tn addition to his t ravels,
writings and lectut·es, he was con­s
ultant to the 'U. S. delegation
'"'hen it drew up the United Na.
tions Charter in San Francisco.
The fo•·ums and colleges of the
country have Jong cons idered him
an out.~ t.anding speakea· whose un.
usual wealth of info1'n1ation is
presented in n vital and extreme ...
Jy intet·esting manner. He is de~
finitely t·ecognized as one of the
leading s peakers on the s ubject
of Communism on the Catholic
platfom t today.

Mr. BI'Own related the bt·othcr­hood
of man to the founding of
out· demoe•·acy. He pointed out the
distinction between the uphil­osophical

prived in equality. He called up­on
students like ourselves to fuse
the gap between theory and prac­tice,
''thereby giving our democ­racy
more meanin;:( and giving
individuals more rights."
He challenged us as future pr·o­fessional
and business people to
have a feeling of respect for dif­ferent
cultural and ethn ic groups
and to transmit this respect to
action which would bring about a
true experiencing of the brother.

Colleges held in Washington, D.
C., on January 11-13.
The general subject of the con­fe•

Harlan Hatcher, President of the
University of Michigan, Rcve1·end
Theodot·e J l. Hesburgh, C.S.C ..
President of the Univcr"Sity of
Notre Dame, and P1·ofessor Cil­bert

"Sea Magic" To Mark
Formal Theme
There'll be magic in the ail' on
Februa•·.y 18 as students and their
dates dance to the rhythm of Bill
Fleig's orchestra at the Sodality's
semi ... formal dance.
The dance is an annual affair,
but the date has been advanced
this year to enable more students
to attend. It was formerly held
in the spring, but because the
Senio•· Ball was soon after, the
attendance was not as g.r:c.at as
could be hoped. Since this is the
last big event before Lent, the
Sodality expects a la•·ge turn-out.
M"ry Jo Schaefe>', general
chairman, ha.s announced that it
will be held from nine to twelve
in the school auditorium. Tickets
are on sale now by H elc:n Batter
for $2.80. J11dy Keave11oy is in

'Ci111e to Meditate
Somehow, the New Year just slipped in before I was
ready for it; I hardly had a chance t.o make any ser ious
resolutions. Or, perhaps I did make them and haven't
got around t.o getting them into effect. (Memo: get ac­cu
~tomed to being ready for these inevitable events; stop
fabricating excuses mentally to escape these duties to
my personality.) The days have just slipped away, and
~udden ly-here I am at the beginning of a new term
and about to set aside three days from this rushing, note­jammed,
assignmented schedule. three days to make a
thorough examination of every corner of myself, into the
par ts of my personality that make me wonder sometimes.
and to form a number of resolutions.
In the busyness of daily work, am I fo•·getting the real
aim, the reason why I come to class each day'/ Am I in­stead
concentrating on the means and making them all­important?
Do I allow myself to become so wound up
thal petty incidents claim my mind as central events? Do
1 s hift responsibility or procrastinate?
And resolutions galore! How many times have I vowed
to get in that extra-class book, to get to daily Mass, to
relax while working (to make me a sanely balanced per­son).
Is it possible, conversely, that I am over-con­scientious
about work and take every accusation or sug­gestion
as a reason for personal upset?
Having put ourselves in the best atmosphere of mjnd
fo•· a retreat and made this all-around examination, we
will a ll find that this pause to reconsider, to recount. and
to reaffirm our aims will be a despen\tely-needed one.
We will fi nd it so much easier to plunge ngnin into the
routine, after this "pause that refreshes.'' And as our
RetJ·eat gives us the opportunity to do such houseclean­ing,
the reopening of classes gives us the opportunity to
put our determination to the test.
A MomeHt's Pause
Amid the business and bustle of a new term, Nazareth
paused •·ecently to offer a specia l MaR.~ for n servant of
God and youth. Father Daniel A. Lo•·d, S .. J., has received
a new nssignment, and, we are sure. a reward. The offer­ing
of Nazareth's prayers for Father Lord's soul is but a
small mark of the love and appreciation the young people
of America owe to this man, this priest of God. 1n his
service of God, he labored long, strenuously, and tireless­ly
in behalf of God's chlldren; of these, Soda lists espe­cially
felt the genial warmth of Father Lord's smile.

The proposed topic of the work­shOJ>
is the study of the relation­ship
of Y. C. S. to C. A., of
Sodnlity to C. A .. the dist inctions
among the three, and the possi­bility
o! eooperation or merger.
Jean Alaimo explained that in
ordea· to have a successfu l woa·k.
shop it is important fo•· a ll in­tere•
ted student. to attend. "All
studenUJ inte• ested in Catholic
Aetion. which on our eampus
eomea under the heading of So­dality,
will find lhl• excha nge of
idea" invaluahl~." Jean said.
"The primar)' purpose of a
workt~hop;' Jean continued. ..is
the •olution of llroblems. Our
problem has vexed Catholic Ac­tion
wo1·kers and bas eaus.ed hos~
tility in their ranks rather than
unity and coopetation. Cl'eater
cooperation has been n plea of
Pope Pius XII. We hope to be
able to take step• toward greater
eoope•·at.ion through our work·
shop.
''A woa'kJJhop is n h aining

for friendly debate with
